A goof-up by Microsoft on its Xbox.com Blog blurted out release date of EA's next big first-person shooter Battlefield 4. The post originally aired with a release date for the Xbox 360, of 29th October, 2013, before being taken offline and edited. Historically, EA released Xbox 360 versions of games in its Battlefield franchise on the same days as its PlayStation 3 and PC versions.

The blog post goes on to hint that DICE (the studio behind the production) could focus on the single-player campaign a little more this time around, with the introduction of community features such as leaderboads, which could make playing and replaying the campaign more challenging, and rewarding.
